Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Bell ringers for The Salvation Army of Kosciusko County received a $5,000 challenge from a local couple looking to double donations to Red Kettles.
Long time supporters of The Salvation Army, the couple is asking shoppers to give to make the most of the challenge and raise at least $5,000 in Kosciusko County Red Kettles, according to a news release from The Salvation Army.
"We have just a few days left to raise funds in Red Kettles, so this incredible gift is such a blessing!" said Maj. Jean Thammavongsa with The Salvation Army. "I hope that shoppers see this generosity and put a little more in the kettle. There are so many in our community who count on these donations and the programs that they fund at The Salvation Army. Thank you to everyone who rises to the challenge and helps to fill the kettles on Thursday, Friday and Saturday!"
Just visit salarmy.us/warsawvrk2025 to make a secure gift and help The Salvation Army reach its Christmas fundraising goal.
Last year The Salvation Army provided 73,630 meals to those facing food insecurity and 14,364 basic social services, like utility and rent assistance, to county residents. These and many other ministries are supported by the Red Kettle Campaign each fall. The $5,000 match will help The Salvation Army get closer to its fundraising goal.
Shoppers looking for a Red Kettle this week will find bell ringers at Walmart, Kroger and Martin's in Warsaw and Neighborhood Fresh in North Webster. There are still many shifts in need of volunteers over the three days of the match. Anyone interested in volunteering to ring a bell through Christmas Eve is invited to visit RegisterToRing.com and find a location, date and time that works for their schedule.
